ABSTRACT:
A decoder apparatus for selecting column lines of a CMOS imager pixel array is disclosed. The decoder apparatus is made up of at least one first decoder and at least one set of second decoders, each set being associated with respective first decoder. The first decoder decodes a first portion of an address representing a desired pixel array column and, depending on the results of the first decoding operation, selectively enables the associated second decoder set which decodes a second portion of the address to select a column line.
